Staying at home

Choosing the right home care services

When you contact an organisation providing care at home you want to be sure that it offers a high quality service, with trained staff who can provide the care you want. You should be specific about the kind of help you want - and do not hesitate to ask questions.

It is important that you know exactly what to expect, how much you will be paying and what for, and that you have confidence that the people who will be visiting your home are capable of providing what you need.
